Depression Help Online

Resources for finding depression help online.

Just like anxiety, there are also resources for depression help online. Some of them deal with both anxiety and depression, as these two tend to go hand in hand.

But there are also some great sites that are focused just on the topic of depression. Depression can be an illness on its own, with no other mental health symptoms, but a lot of times it tends to be a symptom of another mental illness.

The first step in knowing where to go to seek help, advice or counseling is knowing what type of depression you’re dealing with.

There are some helpful Q & A screening tools that can give you an idea of what your symptoms are, and how severely they’re affecting your day to day life.

These are not tools for making a diagnosis; rather they’re there to give you an idea of the severity of your depression symptoms. That way, when you seek counseling support, you’ll be able to better describe your symptoms.

I’ve put together a list of some great depression help online resources. This way, instead of scrolling through tons of results, these will take you to what you’re looking for. Without all the hassle.

(I mean, when you don’t even want to get out of bed, you most definitely want to waste what energy you do have searching in frustration for the right information. Amirite?)

I’m always trying to learn more about depression and ways to help with symptoms. One thing that I’ve just started learning about, and have actually been trying out, is meditating.

I have honestly been shocked at how it enables me to relax, and quiet my mind. I’m loving it so far. If you think this is something for you, check into it.

With the amount of resources, information and tools you can find for depression help online, there’s no need to suffer with your symptoms. You don’t have to try and fight depression alone.

I used to think I could manage my symptoms on my own. I thought I had it all under control. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that I was not in control at all.

This is part of the reason I created this blog. I want to help others, I want you to know that you are not alone. You don’t have to fight this alone.

And you can overcome this. You’ve got this. All you have to do is reach out. It does require effort on your part, there is no magic button you can press to make it all go away.

But if you’re willing to put in the work, I think you’d be surprised at what you’ll be able to accomplish!

If you’d like to join me in my journey, go to my homepage at Jessisamess.com and check out my blog posts. I share my own personal thoughts and feelings about anxiety, depression, ADD and mental health.

I also have discussion forums on different topics if you have a question, or just need to chat.

I can relate to both sides of this unfortunate coin, as I am both a sufferer, and I know what it’s like to live with someone with these disorders (and then some).

Always remember – you are not alone. You don’t have to struggle alone.
